Staatliches Museum
In the Alter Garten, the Staatliches Museum has a substantial collection spanning the ages. The 15 statues in the Ernst Barlach room provide a small taste of the sculptor's work. There's also a typically amusing and irreverent Marcel Duchamp collection. Those with more traditional tastes will prefer the oils by Lucas Cranach the Elder, as well as works by Rembrandt and Rubens.

Schwerin Cathedral
Rising above the market square, Schwerin's 14th-century cathedral (Dom) is an impressive piece of north-German Gothic architecture - and locals love to point out that its tower (118m) is a whole 50cm taller than Rostock's Petrikirche! It offers stupendous city views.
